The Triffid, Brisbane’s new live music venue, will open its doors at the end of October and is set to be the city’s hang space for the summer! Located in one of Newstead’s historic WWII hangers, The Triffid offers a medium sized concert space with an 800 capacity. Developed primarily by musician John Collins (ex Powderfinger) in partnership with leading music industry figures Paul Piticco and Jessica Ducrou (Splendour In The Grass, Falls Festival, Secret Sounds Touring), and Brisbane hospitality identity Brett McCall, The Triffid has been 18 months in development. With its imposing arched roofline and 490 square metre outdoor beer garden, The Triffid will be open from Tuesday to Sunday, playing host to a mix of national and international touring acts alongside Brisbane’s finest. And that’s who will hit the stage first! From October 30 The Triffid will test the waters with Triffid Seeds, a three-night showcase of Brisbane’s wealth of emerging acts. On November 8 The Triffid will officially kick into action with a Launch Party featuring electrifying Melbourne 9-piece Saskwatch, Brisbane indie favourites The Creases and Byron Bay locals MT Warning.
Don’t miss one of the biggest parties this year on November 8th as Saskwatch, The Creases and MT Warning officially launch The Triffid.
